My own experience with A/V cables is a bit different. I personally think people who swear by expensive, "quality" cables are just kidding themselves because they can't admit to themselves that they just wasted a bundle of money on expensive cables. Unless your room happens to house a high voltage generator that powers your block, I'll buy you a bottle of your favorite single malt if you can tell the difference between Walmart brand or your super crazy expensive "audiophile-approved" cables when used on even a higher end consumer home theater system. I'll accept there might be a small dB difference, but if you can hear the difference then either the "cheap" cable is from the 70's, or you're an alien. Not too long ago, I was at a local electronics/audio store (I needed a longer S-video cable) and some guy beside me was about to pay $40 for a "gold plated, high quality, digital coaxial audio cable." $40!! I didn't even try to stop him, because as much as I'm socially liberal, I'm also also capitalist, and I'm all for raping ignorant consumers. But the truth is that the $5 RCA cable about 2 feet to his left would have done exactly the same job, particularly because it's digital. </rant> Jason. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
